Wei Zheng's question was quite bold. Li Chengqian was trembling and frightened by Wei Zheng's words.
"Mr. Wei, is this really appropriate? I'm just the prince now."
"Just because you are the prince!"
Wei Zheng said here without mercy, "You are the crown prince of the country, and now His Majesty has put many things in your hands and asked you to set up such an intelligence agency. You should not know what they are thinking." What to do?"
Wei Zheng taught Li Chengqian without any pressure at all. Li Chengqian looked at Wei Zheng and asked here with a little fear.
"Master, what should I do if my royal brothers find out what I have done?"
Wei Zheng couldn't help but ask again when he saw Li Chengqian looking like this.
"Then I wonder how His Royal Highness will arrange these princes in the future? Their days will be long in the future."
"They will all be enfeoffed. Dongzhou can have one or more kings in the future. The others should either stay in Chang'an City and live a prosperous life, or go to the Tang Dynasty. There may be new ones in the future. Cheng Qian feels that it is not appropriate to confer titles on the territory and allow them to lead one area as before."
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Wei Zheng touched his beard.
"Under such circumstances, the Crown Prince's arrangement is very feasible. As long as the military power is firmly in the hands of His Royal Highness, there will be no problems.
If they try to make trouble again, it will be nothing more than a flash in the pan. only……"
It was just Wei Zheng's mistake that made Li Chengqian afraid again.
"What's wrong with Mr. Wei? Just say it, Cheng Qian is your student and it comes from your mouth to my ears. Even if you are too treasonous and unethical, Cheng Qian will not say anything wrong about Mr. Wei."
Li Chengqian expressed this to Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengqian and sighed.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, it's not that someone from Wei is talking nonsense here, but there are some things that are really just like His Highness the Crown Prince said. You won't tell others, but if you say it, it will always make you unhappy."
As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Chengqian looked at Wei Zheng, "Master Wei, you underestimate Cheng Qian too much, right? What is Cheng Qian's temperament like? Isn't it clear to Mr. Wei?"
Finally, Wei Zheng sighed, "Your Highness, since you are so kind, you have enfeoffed all the capable princes, and generally stayed in Chang'an City to enjoy the glory and wealth.
Then the capital should be protected. There should be no problems in the capital. The capital should have the best soldiers in the world and collect the best soldiers in the world in Chang'an City.
The local Zhechongfu soldiers are still Zhechongfu soldiers, but the other elite soldiers are like Tiance guards. Your Highness should recruit soldiers. "
"But what about the money for recruiting soldiers? Everything the Tang Dynasty does now costs a lot of money. Once recruiting soldiers is done, it can only be done after I ascend the throne. It must be done step by step. At that time, Mr. Wei, you will have to grow up You can't just leave alone, let alone ignore things."
Li Chengqian suddenly said this, making Wei Zheng look at Li Chengqian Laohuai Captain.
"Old minister, I will definitely wait for that day, but this matter cannot wait until His Majesty ascends the throne. Instead, we should talk to His Majesty and secretly proceed in advance.
First, form a few troops like Tiance Guards and hide them in the dark. There are so many generals in the Tiance Guards, and you can pull out such a team by just picking out a few.
Moreover, the national treasury is extremely full now, and there is a steady stream of money coming from Dongzhou, so I believe His Majesty will not mind. "
But as soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Chengqian looked at Wei Zheng.
"It's just that this money will be used up one day. At that time, what should I do if the Tang Dynasty does not have so much money and taxes?"
Wei Zheng did not expect that Li Chengqian would raise the issue of money, and looked at Li Chengqian and said.
"Your Highness, when the time comes, the people of the world will support Li Tang unshakably, and no one can make waves again. Even if Your Highness, the Prince, lets all the Tang army disarm and return to the fields, no one will take care of themselves." Threatening His Majesty, right? Even if someone really does this, the sight of me, the sons of the Tang Dynasty, attacking in large numbers is not far away."
Wei Zhengchang thought about a very beautiful picture, while Li Chengqian looked at him and spoke slowly.
"We can only take one step at a time, and Master knows that there is so much money in Dongzhou, but doesn't he know that there is not so much money in other countries?
We are not attacking them for money, but to make them live a better life. "
Li Chengqian was also very smart and made good suggestions for himself to expand his wealth for the Tang Dynasty in the future. This made Prince Wei very happy.
"Your Highness is wise, that is, there should be such a parallel way of king and hegemony. The long-term way is to be a king on the outside and a king on the inside. If you are a king on the inside and a tyrant on the outside, it just gives people the impression that we are powerful on the surface, but our underwear is full of dangers. A If something happens, they will be able to attack us in groups."
??????????????? Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian were chatting here on purpose. Among the other princes' mansions, Wei King Li Tai, who had been severely reprimanded by Li Shimin, looked at it quite unhappily. Look at the subordinate officials below you.
"Tell me, what's going on? How can any of you dare to do such a serious thing?"
The remaining subordinate officials looked at each other, and one of them stepped out of the queue and said something cautiously.
"His Royal Highness King Wei, as the saying goes, you know people but don't know their hearts. How did we know that there would be such a rip-off guy in our mansion doing such a thing behind King Wei's back?"
】
Although these officials here kept scolding the officials who cheated and were taken away by Li Shimin, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead, but after they finished scolding, the topic suddenly changed and they started talking to Li Tai again.
"But Your Highness King Wei, do you really not think about your future? You are His Majesty's biological second son, and His Highness also has the opportunity to inherit the throne."
Li Tai, who was originally very angry, couldn't help but shine when he heard his subordinate officer say this.
"You are right. I am the King of Wei of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty's biological second son. Today, Your Majesty is my father, and the Queen is my biological mother."
The unrealistic idea flashed through Li Tai's mind, but when he thought of the many generals standing on Li Chengqian's side, he immediately knocked on the table with his hand.
"It's just that my status is so noble, what's the use? All the generals listen to Li Chengqian, who can I command to move? I won't just rely on you guys to sharpen their heads and break down the city wall, let me Sitting on that throne?"
As soon as Li Taigang finished speaking, the eyes of the civil servants in front of him suddenly lit up.
"His Royal Highness King Wei, as long as you are interested in being here, we must gather all the people who support His Highness King Wei and twist them into a rope to fight with Li Chengqian. Isn't he relying on the support of this group of Qiu Ba? And the others What? Who supports him? The world cannot be governed by swords and guns."
Some people were persuading King Wei Li Tai in this way, and Li Tai looked at them proudly.
"Okay, then I will wait and wait for you to make your arrangements."
After Li Tai spoke, everyone happily stepped back to make preparations to speed up their master's family to enter the cemetery. The same scene also appeared in other mansions.
The residence of King Wu.
King Wu Li Ke was the prince who was scolded most harshly by Li Shimin.
King Wu smashed everything in his room that could be smashed.
"How is this possible? I didn't do anything, but I just arrested all my subordinates for investigation. Why did you, Li Chengqian, force me so hard that you really made me an enemy?"
King Wu Li Ke kept yelling and cursing there. Although his new subordinates heard Li Ke yelling like this, they did not dare to say anything. They did not dare to make irresponsible remarks next to the current Li Ke.
The last time it happened, it was just because the subordinate officers of his who were captured had something to do and made irresponsible remarks, and then it became like this.
For the sake of their own wealth and life, they would not do such a thing.
But the carefree King of Shu Li Min was very happy.
"There really is nothing wrong with me this time. It seems that my plan was successful. I couldn't attract anyone's attention and went on quietly, letting these people share my father's anger. I got exactly what I should get from it. thing."
In these palaces, when the performance of each prince was mixed, Li Shimin once again sat behind the desk with a headache, looking at the memorials submitted by the ministers, and sighed here.
"What evil have I done? Didn't I just tell you after filling the national treasury?
You see, you are building water conservancy again. This is what you should do.
It’s about digging mountains and building roads again, and this is what we should do.
I am really speechless at what you said!
People say that I am a wise king every day, which makes me very happy, but the price is too high. Spending real money to build roads and water conservancy projects, which one can be solved without paying taxes for three to five years? of?
I just have a little money in the treasury, and you are forcing me to be the wise king for all eternity. I want to be the wise king for all eternity, but can you help me with this money? "
Li Shimin was banging the table and hugging his head, having a hard time making a choice. But just when he was banging the table again and feeling uncomfortable, suddenly a soft hand pressed on his forehead.
"What's wrong, husband? Why are you so worried?"
After the soft voice sounded, Li Shimin smiled proudly and turned to look at Empress Changsun who could clearly tell she was pregnant.
"The Queen is here. Aren't I worried about these things?"
However, Li Shimin intended to let Empress Changsun take a look at the memorial in front of him, but Empress Changsun didn't even look at it.
"Since Your Majesty is so worried, why not let your children help you solve your problems?"
"You said the prince, the prince should indeed take care of business more."
But as soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Empress Changsun laughed.
"Your Majesty has more than one prince."
This unexpected sentence made Li Shimin stunned.
"You're talking about the other princes, but now that something like this has happened, I can't arrange any more tasks for them."
"Your Majesty, why are you so ignorant? You are too embarrassed to arrange for them. Don't they feel uneasy? You want him to continue to feel that the father still cares about him so that he can work hard for our Datang. If you don't work for our Datang , think about something every day to save us trouble."
Although Empress Changsun couldn't explain the big truth, the little things she said were still very appropriate.
But as soon as Empress Changsun finished speaking, Li Shimin became a little unenthusiastic.
"Queen, you have always ignored everything, why are you so concerned today? Is there something to hide? If you weren't pregnant, I would never have spared you."
Queen Changsun smiled.
"Your Majesty, why do I have such bad thoughts? I just can't bear the disagreement between father and son."
